Captain's Announcements

Congratulations to the final stableford winners last week, John Guiney in division one and Ian McNally in division two both scoring 42 points. The Autumn Kruger Sovereign was held yesterday and I believe the winner was Jim Craggs with 38 points. Very well done all of you.

Sad news of the passing of Mike Baily last weekend, Mike has been a loyal member of the Golf Club for a continuous 39 years and he and his dog will be greatly missed by all. Funeral details appear on notices around the Club.

The big news from this week is that the Thursday Club draw took place a little later than planned, due to technical difficulties with the ball machine, but the £575 prize fund was won by number 349 a delighted Pauline Platt.

This weekend we have the final medal for those who have qualified and on the Sunday the Four Ball Draw for the Autumn Vases. This will be my final four ball draw so please brave the weather forecast and join me at 8 am for the draw at 8.15 sharp. I will be there from 7.40 having some breakfast so why not join me. Entry costs only £5 and all funds distributed as prizes it's a very good way of meeting other members and extending your circle of playing partners.

Tonight is music night once again with Hot Fondu on stage from 9pm with food available from 7.00pm chicken madras or a veggie curry please refer to posters for more info.

Next weekend is the Club AGM on Saturday night and the Sunday is the Captain's Drive in competition which is open to all. Please sign up on the BRS/PSI system to book your tee slot and support our new Captain on his first day in office. Coffee and bacon roll on arrival, Golf, International buffet lunch. The Drive in is estimated to happen at about 1 pm, Best of luck David and Irene.

You can see how things are improving with a new Captain on board when the nearest the pin prize has grown from a bottle of wine to the chance of having a new Toyota Car for the weekend !.It's a shame that I won't be able to play as I shall be in the Air on the way to Alicante for 6 days of Golf.

That's about it for the time being and next week will be my last announcement before I become a past captain.
